What: “Sh*t, Actually” by Lindy West
Why: Do you find yourself in need of a breath-taking, tear-jerking … laugh? Or perhaps a recommendation for a weekend movie night? Check out “Sh*t, Actually.”
Lindy West rips into a hilarious critique of some of cinema’s most notable and cult classics of the last 35 years. As the book was written in 2020, West reflects on how some of these films have not aged gracefully but can be laughed at in a reminiscent light of the 1990s. Her chapter on “The Notebook” brought me to tears of laughter in the library’s break room.
